Therapy for Stress & Burnout 

Our NYC therapists help you develop tools to manage stress, prevent burnout, and recognize signs before you’re in it.

  • Feeling tired, drained, or physically exhausted, despite getting adequate amounts of sleep
  • Increased irritability
  • Feeling emotionally numb
  • Losing interest in activities that at one point felt enjoyable
  • Decreased motivation and enthusiasm 
  • Increased tension, headaches, or digestive problems
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Decision fatigue
  • Feeling disconnected from others
  • Experiencing a sense of detachment from your work and social life 
  • and many others

Chronic stress and burnout can take a significant toll on your mental, emotional, and physical well-being, affecting every aspect of your life.

We specialize in helping ambitious individuals understand and manage stress and burnout, empowering you to regain balance and vitality.

Signs of stress and burnout include:

Are you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and emotionally drained by the demands of life? 

Stress is a natural response to challenging situations or demands, but when it becomes chronic or overwhelming, it can lead to burnout. 

Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress, often resulting from work-related pressures or personal responsibilities.

While the causes for each individual are different, here are some common contributors:

Why do stress & burnout occur? 

High workplace and personal demands
Feeling underappreciated or undervalued
Feeling a lack of autonomy over your work
setting unrealistically high standards
Difficulty balancing responsibilities with leisure


While stressors and responsibilities are part of life’s givens, wellness isn’t the absence of stressors, but your ability to cope with them when they arise. With the proper tools, you can learn to better manage your stress, set healthier boundaries, and prevent burnout before it begins.

Learn how to restore balance, wellbeing, and resilience in the face of stress.

  • Therapy helps you develop the skills and resources to cope with stressors and bounce back from setbacks.

  • It teaches you how to establish boundaries, prioritize self-care, and create a more harmonious balance between responsibilities and leisure.

  • Our holistic approach will teach you cognitive, behavioral, and somatic strategies to cope with your stress, so you can also address the physiological toll stress and burnout have on you.

Stress and burnout are intricately linked with physiological symptoms. Your body secretes stress hormones that can contribute to an uptick in migraines, increased body tension, lethargy, or increased restlessness. Thus, we find it particularly important to consider your full context when working with stress and burnout. 

Your psychotherapist may use a range of modalities, depending on your needs and experiences. Each treatment plan is tailored to you, with your goals and preferences at the forefront.
